Activity Holidays for walkers, trekkers and mountaineers
We provide activity holidays in the Alpujarras and Sierra Nevada
of Andalucia, southern Spain. The area provides great opportunities
for all, from the high and wild mountains, in winter, to the more gentle
hills of the Alpujarras. There is something to interest everybody.
We have been operating here, from our permanent base in Lanjaron,
for over 8 years and offer a wide range of holidays. Our enthusiastic
team of professional guides live and work here,
and know the mountains and environment intimately. We are the first, most
established and experienced UK guides operating year round in the Sierra
Nevada. Access is easy from Granada, Malaga or Almeria airports.
We offer trips of any duration and any start date. Singles and groups
are welcomed. Tailor made, family friendly activity courses available and also support for self guided climbers, walkers and trekkers.

The
high mountains offer great trekking opportunities. From the 5
day "Traverse Of
The 3000m Peaks" (Los Tres Miles), to 1 or 2 day ascents
of Mulhacen (3481m) the highest peak in Spain, there is something
for all. We also offer 3 day, remote trekking
near Alcazaba and the northen mountains of the range and
also ascents of individual
peaks. More info about Sierra Nevada trekking (inc Mulhacen)

The gentler terrain of the Alpujarras
offer great walking trails for all. Choose from day or multi
day tours along the GR7 or GR142 or walks around the Poqueira
Gorge or "White Villages". The Cumbres
Verdes range just south of Granada also gives marvellous walking.
The Sulayr GR240
long distance path is a great 300km footpath that encircles the range.
The full walk will take approx 15 days to complete and was only inaugarated
in November 2007. We offer day and multi day hiking and trekking possibilities,
where your bags are forwarded in advance. Further afield, the mountains
of the Huetor Natural
Park, Almijara
and the Deserts of
Tabernas offer great alternative and remote trekking.More info about walking in the Alpujarras
